B-Man Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 EVEN MORE GOOD NEWS: Coronavirus Delays Key Global Climate Talks. The session, known as the Conference of Parties, had been scheduled to take place in Glasgow for a week and a half in mid-November. It was postponed to 2021, the world body’s climate agency and the host government, Britain, confirmed late Wednesday. “In light of the ongoing, worldwide effects of Covid-19, holding an ambitious, inclusive COP26 in November 2020 is no longer possible,” the British government said in a statement. The conference venue in Glasgow, an arena where tens of thousands of delegates from around the world were to have gathered, is being turned into a field hospital for people with Covid-19, the disease caused by the virus. Covid patients are also being housed in the convention center in Madrid where the Conference of Parties took place last December; Spain has one of the world’s largest outbreaks. Coronavirus keeps environmentalists off of private jets — is there anything it can’t do? . 1

But, the flip is that they've been open less than 24 hours at this point. We're in the "bad window" right now for the next two weeks, so those numbers will go up. But it will be worth tracking to see how much they're really being used. 1 1

The type of forward planning that the Left will NEVER give them credit for. 2

RochesterRob Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 3 hours ago, Tiberius said: No, carbon is a heat trapping gas. Pollution is real and has negative effects on humans and the environment. This is the same thing as the science that was ignored about the Corona virus. Carbon is an element. Carbon dioxide is a gas. Carbon by itself is not present in the atmosphere. 1

The ships are not taking any Covid-19 patients. I figure that until the field hospital is filled up they won't need to ship any regular patients to the Comfort in NY harbor. 1 2

transplantbillsfan Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 Does anyone want to bet that at SOME point in the lead up to November, Trump will find a way to take responsibility for this: DESPITE doing idiotic things like this Yeah... this is the jackass so many of you over here support

A major shift to battery powered vehicles with many charged with electricity generated by coal plants. The government doesn't always think things through. The reusable grocery bag requirement is a good example. You Lefties sure do have a lot of ideas promulgated by some hidden fantasy liberally fertilized by people like you. Maybe instead of proudly proclaiming that you've had so many students accepted to Harvard you should hope for even more being accepted at MIT. Get real. 2

B-Man Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 YOUR RECYCLABLES ARE GOING TO THE DUMP: Rising rates of contamination, among other problems, have left material processing facilities with no willing buyers. “That’s exactly what’s been happening to Baltimore County’s glass. Yet county officials are still encouraging residents to recycle the stuff, fearful that people will fall out of the recycling habit. Ritual is apparently more important than reuse.” Why, it’s like Recycling is America’s False Religion or something. Fortunately though, fellow Insta-co-blogger John Tierney warned more enlightened readers about this – in the New York Times, no less – nearly a quarter of a century ago. And.........save your breath.............no this doesn't mean we want to ruin the environment, that simplistic, false response is for 5 year olds. . 1
